Happiness is like rest, found with
Out effort and denied to such as for
ever seek it instead of enjoying it..
The poor man is not happy because
he wishes to be rich, imagining that
riches would bring peace. The rich
man is not happy for even more rea-
sons than the poor man is not. He
is unhappy because be is not richer,
because he fears he will lose his
riches.

There Is no just action, no kind
word, no obliglng demeanor, no
charity, no hospitality, that springs
from seifshness which shall not have
its penalty, inasmuch as it eorrupts
the character; and there is uo kind
ness, no forbearance, no generosity,
no charity, that springs from disin-
terested benevolence, which has not
its remuneration, for it makes men
better, nobler and purer.

Addressing body of business
men at Bridgeport, Conn, the other
day, P. T. Barnum the great show
man, said: lyon do not, any of
you, advertise enough. You ought
to use printers Ink every day. You
are asleep, and want your business
to run itself. Standing advertise
ments in paper command confidence
The man who for year lives in one
community and leads reputable
life, even though he be of moderate
ability, will grow in the confidence
and esteem of his fellows. On the
same principle a newspaper adver-
tisement becomes familiar to the
eyes of the reader. It may seldom
be read, still it makes the name and
business of the man familiar, and its
presence in the columns of a paper
inspires confidence in the stability of
its enterprise

The striking feature of our pro-
gress in the extreme West is IN. the
unprecedented settlement of the
country, and the concurrent growth
of its railway system, We built
over 1000 miles of new road in
1886, and shall probably construct
over 1000 miles in 1887. This is
apart from side tracks, renewals,
and, in some cases, double tracking.
But the great bulk cf this new rail-
road construction is west Of the
Mississippi. The growth of the new
cities IN that region is something
phenomenal. Chicago and San
Francisco have been built up almost
in our generation, bat the growth of
st. Paul, Minneapolis, Kansas City,
Omaha, Denver, and dozen other
points that might be mentioned, has
been so rapid as to be scarcely credi-
bic. 1t is only few years since a
congressional wit sneered st Duluth
as 1.-THE zenith city of the unsalted
seas bat this is no longer a jest,
but fact; for in seven years Duluth
has increased its population from 81
500 TO 35, 900, and it is keeping this
increase up. Chicago, of course,
continues to grow, but it Is having
rivals at all points of the compass
west of its longitude. The great
depots Of grain, provisions and lum-
Der, instead of being concentrated at
Chicago, now come directly east
from its more western rivals. In
the olden times, during the decline
of the Roman Empire, the mighty
hordes Of the barbarian emigrants
came from Central Asia, with arms
in their hands, to occupy the rich
and fertile plans of Europe and the
Eastern states pour over the Miss is
sippr, bringing with them tools and
capital, to occupy the vacant land
and subdue the wilderness. The CEN
sus of 1890 will tell of the stupendous
growth of the cities and states we st
of the Mississippi. There is nothing
like it in ancient or modern history.

In regard to an item which appeared in the
columns of the journal few days ago
would like to make some corrections. The
item was headed Salt Horse" and was OF
quite sensational character. The facts are
as follows The horse alluded to died and
the skin was taken off and the meat was taker
from the thigh bones to be fed as we under
stand it to hens. The carcass was not re
moved and thereby a nuisance was com
menced, the Board of Health were informed
and told the man to remove it. which he
agreed to do but simply covering the body
with dressing did not serve to quench the oh.
noxous odors and the Board were sec
ond time notified, a second visit wa:
made, and they Immediately proceeded
to hire third party to remove all traces OF
the deceased horse. which was done SO thai
1.-THE old heather" was not left in possession
of any of his beef which could be found
BY the health authorities. Mr.. Samuel Withet
while attempting to cross the mill stream OF
the sth inst. broke through the ice and wa,
in imminent danger of drowning, but lust,
cries for help were given which were promptly
responded to. and Mr.. W. was taken from
the water with as little delay as possible hui
not until he was quite thoroughly chilled.

part OF Moosehead Lake is given. and to the

discovered very extensive lake. but it has
not been surveyed" This must have re-
ferred to that arm Of the lake now called
North Bay and which at that time was thought
by explorers to be an entirely separate BODY
OF water Some of the plans which Mai.
| Cochrane is copying date back pretty well
into the misty past. Among them we noticed
the original survey of Bucksport laid out in
| 1862 by David Marsh and others for the
| settlers The original survey of Bangor was
also there looking very little ike the place
where the thriving queen city now dots the
more modern plan. There is quite different
/ spelling you will find in these old maps, from
what we have now. remarked the Major to
the Journal scribe
| 'W hich is the more correct?"
II am inclined to believe that MANY of the
Old names were more correct than the mod
ern ones. For instance, take the word Car
ratunk. You see it is given on this old plan
as Carriotunk. And here on this older one it
! Is given as Carriotonka which am inclined
! TO believe is the correct rendering of the old
Indian name. The same is true of other
names"
! There are many interesting features about
| these plans, and the State did a good thing
when it took measures to resurrect them from
their obscurity and put them within reach of
the people.
